INGREDIENT NOTES

Pears

Blueberries
Fresh blueberries add sweetness and burst beautifully while baking.

Raspberries
Their slight tartness perfectly balances the sweetness of the pears and honey.

Butter
A small amount creates a silky roasting sauce and enhances caramelization.

Vanilla Extract
Adds warmth and depth without overpowering the fruit.

Cinnamon
A touch of cinnamon complements the pears beautifully.

Lemon Juice
Brightens the flavors and prevents the pears from browning.

Fresh Mint (Optional)
Adds freshness and a beautiful finishing touch.

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

Small mixing bowl
Pastry brush
Measuring spoons
Serving plates

PREP TIME & COOK TIME

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou)
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, mascarpone, or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Pears
Slice the pears in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or small spoon, carefully scoop out the core to create a small cavity for the filling. Brush the cut sides with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Make the Filling
In a small bowl, gently combine the blueberries, raspberries, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and half of the melted butter. Stir carefully to avoid crushing the berries.
4. Fill the Pears
Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the berry mixture evenly into each pear cavity. Drizzle any remaining juices from the bowl over the pears.
5. Roast
Brush the pears with the remaining melted butter and drizzle with a little extra honey. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a knife and the berries are soft and bubbling.
6. Serve
Allow the pears to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Finish with an extra drizzle of warm honey and garnish with fresh mint if desired. Serve warm on their own or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, mascarpone, or Greek yogurt for an extra indulgent dessert.

EXPERT TIPS

Choose ripe but firm pears so they become tender without falling apart during baking.
If your pears are very ripe, check them after 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Use fresh berries whenever possible for the best texture and vibrant flavor, though frozen berries work well too.
Warm the honey slightly before drizzling to help it coat the pears evenly.
Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans, walnuts, or pistachios during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra crunch.
For even more flavor, add a little orange zest or lemon zest to the berry filling.
Spoon the roasting juices over the pears just before serving for extra moisture and sweetness.
Let the pears rest for 5 minutes after baking so the juices can settle before serving.

This recipe is easy to customize based on the season or what you have on hand.

Replace the blueberries and raspberries with blackberries, strawberries, or chopped cherries.
Add crumbled goat cheese, mascarpone, or cream cheese before baking for a creamy filling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
